Can you send a picture? I need more information about the article but I am pretty sure that it is A) the French invasion of Germany.

The story, 'The Last Lesson' has been set in the background of the Franco-Prussian war that was fought in 1870-71 between Prussia and France. The Prussians captured the districts of Alsace and Lorraine. New orders were issued according to which German language was to be taught in place of French in these two districts. It doesn’t have anything to do with World War l or ll so it have to be A) or D). The Germans didn’t invade Alsace, the Prussians did so D) can’t be it. The only answer left is A) so you’re answer would have to be A).
For the first question, item D is correct because you'll need to place a comma before and after parenthetical elements: "<span>The beach, which closes after Labor Day, has white sand."
For the second question, item D is correct because commas are only needed for a series of three or more elements; thus, no commas are needed: "</span><span>I bought a beautiful pitcher and eight glasses."
For the third question, there are no commas needed; thus, item A is the correct sentence: "</span><span>The music made me sleepy."
</span><span>
For the fourth question, item C is the correct response because commas are needed after subordinate clauses that begin a sentence: "</span><span>As the band marched across the field, the crowd cheered."
</span>
For the fifth question, item D is the correct response because in order to keep from having a run-on sentence a comma is always needed before a conjunction that is connecting two complete sentences: "<span>He works long hours, yet he keeps up with his studies."</span>
The part of the dictionary entry that provides information about the origin of the word extravagant is, 'Middle English < Medieval Latin extrāvagant- (stem of extrāvagāns), present participle of extrāvagārī, equivalent to extrā- extra- + vagārī to wander.'
<u>Explanation</u>:
It was during the 1350-1400 that the word extravagant was derived from the Latin word 'extrāvagant' which is a stem of extrāvagāns. The present participle of this word is extrāvagārī, if we find out the meaning of this word it is extra+vagari which means to wander. So extravagant basically means spending much more than what is necessary, spending an extra amount towards something. It also means going beyond what is actually required.
To make sure you it's perfect and to get a high score. This my point of view :/
